Counting the Chips

We are focusing a little more on the math aspect of things this next six months.  Little Man is pretty good at math.  He's a linear thinker.  Generally it  comes easy for him, so we haven't had a huge focus in the past.  While it took him over a year to get his capital letters solid (until in finally clicked), he learned to identify his numbers 0 to 10 in about a week--literally.

He can count well and identify his numbers.  He can also add (without knowing it), problem solve, and much more.  We are working on number to object coorelation and forming sets of objects.  I made up this little game to help him with counting objects and matching them to the right number.  He does pretty good, but once it got to the higher numbers he would add a number or skip a number.  We'll keep playing this for continued practice.

I made a set of cookies with "chocolate chips" ranging from 0 to 12.

Then I made a matching milk glass for each.
